"Oh, the sky is not helping me."

KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul recalled the game two days ago ahead of the Daejeon Hanwha Eagles match on the 5th.

The match against Changwon NC Dinos on the 3rd. KT balanced 1-1 with Oh Yoon-seok's hit and Ahn Hyun-min's double in the top of the eighth inning when they were losing 0-1.




A situation heading into extra time as they go 1-1 against each other. KT had a chance at first and second bases with no outs in the top of the 10th inning with Jang Jin-hyuk's hit and Kwon Dong-jin's hit. A chance to score second and third bases with one out made by Oh Yoon-seok's sacrifice bunt. Ahn Hyun-min, who ranks first in batting average on-base percentage and slugging percentage, stood at the batter's box.

NC may play against Jang Sung-woo, the next batter, with four pitches on purpose, but KT had the best chance. However, the rain from around the ninth inning became longer, and he declared the suspension ahead of Ahn Hyun-min's at-bat. a situation in which there was a rain forecast until late at night. Eventually, he waited for 65 minutes, but as the rain did not die down, the rain cold game was finally declared. KT, which had been in a five-game losing streak, remained a regrettable moment.

Above all, KT even put Ko Young-pyo, a starting resource who has been consistently playing this season with 9 wins, 4 losses and a 2.93 ERA, into the bullpen. Ko Young-pyo threw the ball in the match against Samsung on the 27th and went on a vacation to celebrate the occasion with Jang In-sang.




Ko Young-pyo, who went out to the bullpen, did his part perfectly. After starting pitcher Enmanuel de Heysus played seven innings, Ko Young-pyo came up in the eighth inning and blocked him without allowing a run until the ninth inning.

Director Lee "It rained like that when I tried not to. I sent Ko Young-pyo to win. The bullpen was all three consecutive games. I wasn't going to use it if it was 0-1, but I wrote it when it was tied 1-1, he expressed regret.

Meanwhile, KT made the starting lineup in the order of Junghoon Lee (left fielder), Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Ahn Hyun-min (right fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Jang Sung-woo (fosu), Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), Hwang Jae-gyun (first baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (middle fielder), and Kwon Dong-jin (striker) on the 5th.




Coach Lee showed Kang Baek-ho's batting feeling on the last day of the NC match. In addition, Heo Kyung-min seemed to feel burdened when there was a runner, so he placed it in the front. Ahn Hyun-min is doing well, so he put him in the third hitter right away."
